Suggest Remedy For Severe Toothache Along With Earache And Stuffy Nose

Hi. I have been experiencing severe toothache on my left side for the last 12 hours. This is out of the blue. I am now suffering from earache also on the left side and have a stuffy nose and vaguely tingling throat. The toothache is causing me tremendous pain but I am unable to see a dentist for eight days. What could this be and what can I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe toothache along with earache and stuffy nose which seems to be due to formation of abscess in that area due to which infection is spreading from one area to other by facial spaces giving generalized symptoms. I would suggest you to visit dentist once as emergency dental visit and get IOPA( X-RAY) done to check extent of infection as chances of bone involvement is there. You should go for scaling and root cleaning of teeth in particular quadrant. Go for root canal treatment of badly carious teeth and then capping of that teeth. If teeth are nonrestorable go for extraction of them. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity. Take proper course of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
